USB Storage

Ive been having a problem with USB storage devices, I just cant get arch to recognize them!

I have been testing with an ipod and a flash drive.

I know the problem is not with the devices, as they work on other Linux-run computers, and its not my mobo, since i can get power through.

I have tried a few lsusb's and dmesg's but, to be honest, i have no idea where to start.

hmm

Re: USB Storage

sorry for the lack of info big_smile

I have hal in the deamons array, but not dbus. lsusb shows nothing, if the device is plugged in or not.

Im running xfce4. Its weird, disks (cd's/dvd's ect) will mount and show on the desktop, while flash drives dont do anything.

Re: USB Storage

(Sorry)

Have you tried mounting them manually? Something like (assuming a fat32 filesystem)

mount -t vfat /dev/**** /mnt/usb

You can find out what to put for "****" by comparing the output of 'ls /dev' before and a few seconds after plugging in the removable storage.

$ ls /dev > ls.dev.tmp
$ # plug in usb storage, wait a few seconds
$ ls /dev | diff ls.dev.tmp -

Re: USB Storage

You may get help from examining gparted for devices scanned.

Re: USB Storage

Gparted found nothing (nice app though).

I tried your code peets, but nothing showed up. No new files get created in /dev when the drives get plugged in, so i think that arch cant detect the drives.

Im thinking about a re-install, but that seems too much like the windows way tbh. (reboot / reinstall)

Re: USB Storage

You need to solve the "lsusb shows nothing" problem first, before you go looking at anything else. You say the devices work with other computers - do other usb devices work with your computer? Does dmesg show anything?

Re: USB Storage

I cant get ANY usb device detected. I have tried printers, cameras, ipods, all are known to be linux friendly.

I dont know what to look for in the dmesg output. Its here if anyone wants to try:

Re: USB Storage

We're looking for dmesg output when you actually connect a device, not when a device is already connected.

If no USB devices are working, it sounds like a hardware problem.

Re: USB Storage

Sorry for bumping this old thread, i had exactly the same problem as the thread starter: usb devices were not recognized, dmesg or lsusb didn't show anything.

It turned out that usb ports were disabled in BIOS :-) that's why even after connected, there is no power for the devices at all ...
